Ingredients
FOR THE POUND CAKE
3 sticks butter
1 package cream cheese
3 c. sugar
5 large eggs
3 tbsp. lime juice
3 c. flour
Zest of 1 lime
FOR THE GLAZE
1 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. lime juice
2 tbsp. water
½ tsp. pure vanilla extract
Zest of 1 lime
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Make the cake: In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Mix in sugar, then gradually add in eggs 1 to 2 at a time, beating on low until combined.
Mix in lime juice, then flour. Fold in lime zest.
Grease 4 mini loaf pans and pour in cake batter until each one is about ¾ full. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean, 43 to 45 minutes. (If you don’t have mini loaf pans, you can grease and fill a bundt pan and bake 70 to 73 minutes.) Let cool for 15 minutes.
Make the glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, lime juice, water and vanilla. (If the glaze is too thick, add extra water, about a teaspoon at a time.) Pour on top of cooled pound cake, then top with lime zest and serve.
